Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:13:55 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=883114#comment-116063The only owner in the whole entire NHL from day 1 that didn’t want to lock the players out was terry pegula from the Sabres.. Say what u want about the team but they were the only franchise to hold all off there off sight events, charity golf, hospital visits.. With out canceling anything..now all u guys want to say that your team and owners are the best and there taking credit..Where were they in the beginning.. or months ago haha.. Why don’t you guys continue to pretend the flyers and the penguins have the best rivalry in hockey and keep being idiots about it.

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:24:05 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=883114#comment-116004yeah NO CRAP Sidney Crosby would be the VOICE as he is the HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE NHL that attended the meeting. HE KNOWS the lower paid guys are sick and tired of fighting so he and Ovechkin get there extra millions.

Guys, don’t get your hopes up about hockey starting soon. I don’t mean to be negative, just a realist. we’ve been slapped, run over by the league, then spit on by Bettman, all so he could get a few extra lines of Coke and an extended massage. Don’t ever forget this, you so called fans. however, I have helped real fans get through this time of shame, so ill share a lil secret of the best place to watch hockey (College, CHL, ECHL, etc.) its all on America One Sports online. Best thing ever during a NHL lockout!!! Don’t go calling Sidney Crosby a hero now. he should have been doing this MONTH’S ago!!!

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:17:03 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=883114#comment-115902Maybe.

I think the centrists/realists on both sides have turned a corner and are fed up with the unsuccessful and destructive antics of Jacobs et. al. and Fehr.

Maybe Sid and Burkle have provided figures to rally around. Hamrlik and others tried it but got btchslapped because they were nobodies which made others unwilling to stand up to the goons.

Sid and Burkle (the real owner of the Pens, not the figurehead Mario) cant be pushed around like Hamrlik and the Winnipeg owners.

Wherther all this leads to a deal….No idea.

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:13:29 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=883114#comment-115897First of all, probably 90% of the league is replaceable and the league wouldn’t skip a beat without them as long as they employed the top 10% of players in the world. If you take my favorite team, the Buffalo Sabres, there is not one single player who is a draw in opposing arenas, except maybe Miller, and they have the highest payroll in the league. If any player left the NHL because he thought there was somewhere better to be, nobody would blink and they would simply be replaced by another player who would then earn millions despite not truly being worth it. If the NHL started to lose players like Crosby and Stamkos and a few others, all of a sudden these replaceable players are less appealing and wherever the top players are is more appealing. The NHL becomes irrelevant (even more so), they stop earning, and the bottom 90% can’t make what they do now.The reason these lesser players make money is because Bettman grew the league during the 90s and 2000s, and players like Crosby play here. It’s that simple. I love Tyler Myers, but that guy isn’t selling a single ticket outside of Buffalo. Without the best of the best, they are a minor league.

After the article was put on here about how he wanted the lock out and then he denied it all the flyers fans were in hear screaming how he is the best owner ever. No one from philthy is even involved in talks and you want to complain about the people trying to save the season. Grow up philthy it gets old.

He is one of us. He wants hockey back more than anybody. He’s the best player in the world, and his talents deserve to be showcased. He is great for the sport, and it is showing on and off of the ice. Keep up the good work, Sid and Co. Lets get this show on the road!

Just got off the phone with a voice in NY. Things are moving well. Players are slowly realizing that things won’t get much better than what the owners offered. Will the players finally see the f***ing light. Now, if there isn’t a deal by Friday, we may see another week cancelled, which will be a very positive sign. Will the season start Dec 21 thanks to our man Sid?

He’s one of the few players in this league that can bring in revenue, and he brings in the most. All of the other anonymous players making millions are just riding the gravy train that Bettman created and that is sustained by Crosby.
